During the search of novel antitubercular drugs related to BM 212, new diarylpyrroles were designed and synthesized on the basis of a structure–activity relationship analysis of many pyrroles previously described by us. Among them, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-ethyl-3- (thiomorpholin-4-yl) methyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrrole (2b) proved to be particularly active, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC, expressed as μg/mL) and a ...
